    He posted task on October 12th.
    I completed this job within one day, I download around 50 videos (unique), converted them to .avi, using XviD codec. I uploaded them to my own server, and give him all details via MSN.
    I don't need to mention, he blocked me on MSN after few days.
    I just want to inform you, tristangemus never sent me payment for this task as promised.

    I am asking myself where is the limit? It looks like tristangemus would do anything to avoid the payment. And we are not even talking about some serious money. Are you guys having similar experiences with other "webmasters"?

    Sometimes I feel so unlucky :)


    I usually don't, but this time I will share PM conversation with you. First message was sent on October 12th, and last on October 28th.

    Big0ne: Here is access to videos: http://xxx.net/tristangemus/

    tristangemus: thanks, though the avi videos are not working and yes i do have all of the codecs. the wmv's work fine though. the wmv's total to $4.75.

    Big0ne: I don't have any codec pack installed beside Xvid and ac3. All videos work fine for me (Gom player, VLC, Windows Media player). Download Gom player, or VLC and try again. It's been encoded with XviD 1.1.3 After all, here is my PayPal ID: Inform me when you have videos so I can remove them from the server.

    tristangemus: im downloading both codecs you mentioned so ill let you know tomorrow if they work and ill send you your $0.25 x 36 $$$$$ thanks. please leave the videos up as i am still downloading :p

    Big0ne: I assume you won't send me payment for completed task.

    tristangemus: No I am, just trying to get my codecs working.

    Big0ne: Well, if you upload those videos to Youtube they will work. I doubt you need them on local PC.

    tristangemus: yeah but i need to watermark em.

    Big0ne: It's been more than 9 days since I completed task.

    tristangemus: i couldnt get the oter videos to work, so ill pay you for the ones i did get to work. can you show me the download page again so i can count please?

    Big0ne: Please don't make fun of me. What would you like to count? If you would download them, you could count them on your PC. Once again, it's not my fault if videos don't work for you.

    tristangemus: how am i making fun of you? not my fault i did everything and the videos dont work. and i didnt download all of them yet, there are over 10 i saw that werent downloaded.

    Big0ne: You have them here: xxx.net/xxx

    tristangemus: okay so you have 19 videos that work for me. so 19 x .25 = $4.75. so please give me your paypal address and ill send your the $$. (please keep the files up for about 2 days so i can complete my downloads. also im very sorry for the inconvenience with the other files, i know how it feels)

    Big0ne:

    3 days later, I still didn't receive payment so I sent him message again

    Big0ne: Thank you for sending me payment! I really appreciate it.

    tristangemus: I really appreciate your understanding of my computer being stupid too. Thanks

    Big0ne: That makes me think you can't access PayPal.

    tristangemus: cant access paypal what are you talking about you received the payment fine...

    Big0ne: It was sarcasm, you never sent me payment. It's actually sad that you think you might think you've sent me.

    tristangemus: i did so send you payment buddy.

    Big0ne:According to what? Show me the proof!

    tristangemus: believe what you want bud but i paid you, so stop crying.
